- Summary:
- In the last decade of the bloodiest century in recorded history, the United Nations devised a new instrument -- preventive deployment -- to deal with the age-old problem of war. This unique first-hand study provides the definitive account of the United Nations Preventive Deployment Force (UNPREDEP), which was deployed from 1992 to 1999 in Macedonia, for the first time before hostilities erupted.
